Book Review - Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Programmer's Cookbook
I have just posted a book review on Matthew MacDonald's VB.NET Programmer's Cookbook. You can read it at See Les's Articles. This is one of the most helpful books that I have ever owned, a must have for anyone new to the .NET Framework. Although I have been developing in VB.NET since Beta 1, I still refer to this book regularly. If you are new to VB.NET, this is a must have book.

Do you have a web forms version of your "Formatting DataGrid Columns with the CGrid Class" article?
I have tried your code in vb.net for creating a desktop shortcut to my app. My needs are simpler - just want to create the shortcut - no need to fire the app automatically and pass userid and password info. The problem is, it works correctly in the debugger, but throws an unmanaged exception when running it compiled. The exception is
"An exception 'System.NullReferenceException' has occured in RDCm.exe.
Which pops up in a "Just-In-Time Debugging" window prompting me to choose a debugger. The code is in a try-catch block, so I assume it's an unmanaged exception.
The offending line of code is:
dim iwlib as IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShell
A line I had to put in to satisfy intellisense.
Any ideas?
Re the problem I was having with creating a desktop shortcut. Duh - seems I've fogotten about those things called DLLs. Have to copy the runtimelibrary dll over to my app's executable directory. Fixed. Thanks. (By the way, I did have to create an instance of WshShell for it to work.
CType(WshShell.SpecialFolders.Item("desktop"),String) would not work without first creating an instance.
Dim iwlib as IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShell = New IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShell
Then...
DesktopDir = CType(iwlib.SpecialFolders.Item("Desktop"),String)
That worked.
FYI.
Brett.

I have read your article: Migration - Creating Services in .NET - Using the .NET FileWatcher
Is it possible that while using the FileWatcher and then acting on one of the events, to determine what user caused the event to fire ?
So say I have 2 users, a and b and user b deletes a file from a directory that I am watching, is it possible from within the service to identify which user deleted the file ?
